Cannot reproduce. Restarted Firefox. Checked for updates again.
Updates Available were:
1. Quality Feedback Agent
2. DOM Inspector
3. Two Themes from ftp.mozilla.org (Doodle Plastik 1.5.9.1 & Doodle Classic 1.5.9)
4. One Extension from downloads.mozdev.org - EM Buttons 0.12.4

All installed successfully.

Leaving this open until someone has a look at the talkback data.

How many times does Firefox 0.10 want me to install the same updates on the same
day? "Updates Available"; "Installing Doodle Classic 1.5.9" followed by "Firefox
could not install this item because "install-pi.rdf (provided by the item) is
malformed. Please contact the author about this problem".  Could this be the
cause of the crash originally?

OK. In the theme manager I now seem to have both Win32 and Mac versions of
Doodle Plastik and Doodle Classic. Can installing the Mac version of a theme on
a Win32 platform cause a crash?

Not reproducable.

Please report the Doodle problem in separate bug against mozilla.org/Update,
it's their problem (most probably).

Did it crash before or after showing the window with available updated components?

Before.  This was the first time I used the check for updates functionality and
it crashed almost immediately before giving me a list of updates to install. 
Perhaps it only fails at the first attempt?  I'm going to mark this WFM since I
can't reproduce this crash.
